>> It worries me down the road--one nation existing in four states and independent in only one. As oppose to one nation existing in four and not being independent in any?! BTW, the Kurds, though have some nationalistic feelings in Iran, have the closest cultural and historical ties to Iran. And while none of Turkey, Syria, or Iraq are willing to confirm the Kurdish identity (until a few years ago, Turkey would not even admit Kurds exist; they refered to them as "mountain Turks" and claimed the name "Kurd" stems from the sound of foot steps on hard snow!). In contrast, Iran recognizes Kurds as one of the founding nations. As a result, I doubt Iran will object to this as harshly as others, especially since the threat of future invasion from Iraq will be highly reduced.
